Diigo Blog » Diigo Lists vs. Google Notebook
1. Google Notebook is very much similar to Diigo Lists. In Diigo Lists, you can organize, share and display specific collections of bookmarks. Once you add bookmarks to your list, you can easily re-arrange the collections by drag-and-drop, and add “section”. And you can publish a Diigo list as an HTML document.
2. In Diigo, an item in a list is also saved separately as a bookmark (which can be tagged). So in this sense, Diigo integrates both Google Notebook and Google Bookmark.
3. Diigo also has the important advantage that “clippings” are really “highlights” on the original web pages and will be shown as such when you re-visit the web pages, reminding you the exact context of the clippings.
4. Another unique Diigo list feature: once you create a list, click the ” WebSlides” button, you can browse, play and annotate any list of URLs as a slide show! It’s great for content browsing, sharing, and creating unique presentations based on web content.Here is an example of a Diigo List, consisting of recent reviews of Diigo, and watch the Diigo List / WebSlides in action!
5. Google Notebook is a bit more flexible in that an item does not have to be tied to a webpage. Diigo Lists will soon be upgraded to provide this flexibility and a lot more in the near future. -

Explaining Collaboration to Learners
collaborate vs cooperate: teaching it
“This is what I have, what can I add to it? How do I make my partner look good?”
- Collaboration vs cooperation - By Sheri Edwards
-
In a collaborative workspace, people amplify one another
-
The first is, “Accept every offer.”
-
“Make your partner look good.”
-
Focus on “This is what I have, what can I add to it? How do I make my partner look good?”
-
An interested person leans in and listens closely when group members have something to say; an interested person is curious about solutions other than the first one suggested. An interested person is more concerned about the process than their role in it. An interested person does more to amplify the people around them.

Collaboration in the Classroom?
So, what do learners need to know to better understand what collaboration really means?
- Collaboration absolutely requires the participation of two or more people; if you could accomplish the work by yourself, you’re cooperating, not collaborating.
- Collaboration Is enhanced by “accepting every offer” and “making your partner look good.” Focus on what you can add to what others have suggested rather than revising or fixing their ideas or solutions.
- Collaboration is facilitated by group members that focus on being *interested* rather than being *interesting* - be curious about others’ ideas, explore the possibilities, enjoy the process rather than focusing to quickly on the outcome.
- Collaboration demands bi-directional communication in which your ideas are shaped by the ideas of others; you must work to make sure your ideas are comprehensible.
